Another CodeNEXT official leaves City Hall

A top figure in Austin’s massive rewrite of its land development code, planning manager Jim Robertson, is leaving City Hall to take a job in Colorado, city officials announced Monday.

“He will be missed as the leader of this important project, but we are very fortunate to have created a talented team of colleagues within (Planning and Zoning) and spread across the other City’s departments to carry this effort forward,” wrote Greg Guernsey, who heads the Planning and Development Review Department.

Robertson will leave the city in August to take a top planning job with the city of Boulder.
